Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of Chinese medicinal herb cultivation technology, and in particular to a ditch-digging device for Chinese medicinal herb cultivation. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of Chinese medicinal herb cultivation, greenhouse cultivation provides a relatively stable and controllable growth environment for medicinal herbs, which helps to improve the yield and quality of medicinal herbs.
[0003] Canals play multiple crucial roles in greenhouse cultivation. By properly excavating canals, excess water can be drained from the greenhouse in a timely manner, maintaining a suitable soil moisture environment and creating favorable conditions for the growth of medicinal herbs. In addition, canals also provide convenience for growers' daily operations in the greenhouse. When growers are carrying out a series of agricultural operations such as watering, fertilizing, weeding, and pest and disease control, canals can serve as walking paths, making it easier for growers to move between different planting areas, improving work efficiency, and reducing trampling damage to medicinal herb plants.
[0004] However, at present, the excavation of channels inside the Chinese herbal medicine planting greenhouses mostly relies on manual excavation. On the one hand, manual operation is inefficient and requires a lot of manpower and time. On the other hand, due to the limitations of manual operation, it is not easy to control the depth and width of the excavated channels, which can easily lead to uneven channel depth and width, affecting the drainage effect.
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, a ditch-digging device for planting Chinese medicinal herbs has been designed. Utility Model Content
[0006] This application provides a ditch-digging device for Chinese medicinal herb cultivation, which solves the problem that in related technologies, the digging of channels inside Chinese medicinal herb cultivation greenhouses mostly relies on manual excavation, which is not only inefficient, but also results in channels that are uneven in depth and width.
[0007] Firstly, a ditch-digging device for planting Chinese medicinal herbs is provided, comprising:
[0008] A trolley, and a drive unit mounted on the trolley, the drive unit being used to drive the trolley to move, the trolley being provided with a mounting bracket;
[0009] A channel-digging mechanism, mounted on a frame, for digging channels in the ground;
[0010] The trenching mechanism includes a lifting component mounted on a mounting frame and a soil drilling unit connected to the lifting component. The lifting component is used to drive the soil drilling unit to move up and down.
[0011] A shaping mechanism, which is mounted on a mounting frame, is used to shape the excavated channel.
[0012] The shaping mechanism includes a second lifting component and a shaping plate connected to the second lifting component. The shaping plate is used to guide the drilled soil to both sides to form channels.
[0013] In some embodiments, the lifting component includes a mounting plate arranged at the bottom of the mounting frame, two guide rods are arranged opposite each other on the mounting plate, the mounting frame has multiple insertion holes, the top ends of the guide rods extend upward through the insertion holes, and two electric push rods are arranged opposite each other on the mounting frame, the bottom end of the piston rod of the electric push rods being connected to the mounting plate.
[0014] In some embodiments, the soil drilling unit includes a drive motor and a reducer mounted on a mounting plate, a rotating shaft rotatably mounted on the mounting plate, and a drill bit mounted at the bottom end of the rotating shaft;
[0015] The output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the input shaft of the reducer, and the output shaft of the reducer is connected to the other end of the rotating shaft.
[0016] In some embodiments, the second lifting component includes a lifting plate arranged at the bottom of the mounting frame, and a second electric push rod arranged on the mounting frame, wherein the piston rod of the second electric push rod is connected to the lifting plate;
[0017] The lifting plate is provided with a second guide rod, the top of which passes through an insertion hole and extends upward.
[0018] In some embodiments, the shaping plate includes two connecting rods arranged opposite each other on both sides of the lifting plate, and a soil-drawing plate is connected between the bottom ends of the two connecting rods. The soil-drawing plate is U-shaped and the end away from the drilling unit is inclined upward. A scraper is provided at the end of the soil-drawing plate near the drilling unit. Two pressure plates are arranged opposite each other at the top of the soil-drawing plate and are horizontally arranged.
[0019] In some embodiments, a spraying mechanism is also included, which includes a water tank mounted on a trolley, a pump body mounted on the trolley, a supply pipe communicating with the outlet of the pump body, a metal hose connected to the other end of the supply pipe, and a nozzle facing the drill bit at the other end of the metal hose.
[0020] The pump body's inlet is connected to the water tank.
[0021] In some embodiments, the trolley is equipped with a storage battery.
[0022] This application provides a trenching device for planting Chinese medicinal herbs. The lifting mechanism controls the height of the drilling unit, thereby controlling the trenching depth.

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0031] This application provides a ditch-digging device for Chinese medicinal herb cultivation, which solves the problem that in related technologies, the digging of channels inside Chinese medicinal herb cultivation greenhouses mostly relies on manual excavation, which is not only inefficient, but also results in channels that are uneven in depth and width.
[0032] Please see Figures 1-3 A ditch-digging device for planting Chinese medicinal herbs includes: a trolley 1, and a drive component 2 mounted on the trolley 1, the drive component 2 being used to drive the trolley 1 to move, and a mounting frame 3 being mounted on the trolley 1;
[0033] The ditch-digging mechanism 4 is mounted on the mounting frame 3 and is used to dig channels on the ground;
[0034] The ditch-digging mechanism 4 includes a lifting component 41 mounted on the mounting frame 3, and a soil-drilling unit 42 connected to the lifting component 41. The lifting component 41 is used to drive the soil-drilling unit 42 to rise and fall. The shaping mechanism 5 is mounted on the mounting frame 3 and is used to shape the dug channel. The shaping mechanism 5 includes a second lifting component 51 and a shaping plate 52 connected to the second lifting component 51. The shaping plate 52 is used to guide the drilled soil to both sides to form a channel.
[0035] The trolley 1 moves under the action of the drive unit 2. When the trolley reaches the designated position, the ditch digging mechanism 4 starts to work, the lifting unit 41 is activated, and the drilling unit 42 is raised and lowered accordingly. After moving to a suitable height, the drilling unit 42 is activated to drill the ground and dig out the channel.
[0036] After the canal is dug, the shaping mechanism 5 starts working, the lifting component 2 51 is activated, and the height of the shaping plate 52 is adjusted so that the shaping plate 52 comes into contact with the soil that has been drilled and dispersed. After the appropriate height is lowered, the shaping plate 52 guides the soil that has been drilled and dispersed to both sides as the trolley moves, leveling the soil at the bottom of the canal and compacting the soil on both sides of the canal, ultimately forming a neat canal.
[0037] The lifting height of the drilling unit 42 can be controlled by the lifting component 41, thereby controlling the depth of the ditch. At the same time, the continuous rotation of the drilling unit 42 can ensure that the width of the excavated channel remains consistent, improving the accuracy and quality of the ditch excavation. Compared with manual ditch excavation, it greatly reduces labor intensity and manual operation intensity. With the cooperation of the lifting component 51 and the shaping plate 52, the excavated soil can be guided and cleaned, and the channel can be leveled. This not only makes the channel take shape faster, but also makes the shape of the channel more regular after shaping, thus improving work efficiency.
[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the lifting component 41 includes a mounting plate 411 arranged at the bottom of the mounting frame 3. Two guide rods 412 are arranged opposite to each other on the mounting plate 411. The mounting frame 3 has multiple insertion holes. The top ends of the guide rods 412 extend upward through the insertion holes. Two electric push rods 413 are arranged opposite to each other on the mounting frame 3. The bottom end of the piston rod of the electric push rod 413 is connected to the mounting plate 411.
[0039] When the drilling unit 42 needs to be driven down to perform trench digging, the piston rods of the two electric push rods 413 extend synchronously. Since the bottom end of the piston rod is connected to the mounting plate 411, the extension of the piston rod will push the mounting plate 411 to move downward. At this time, the guide rod 412 extends upward through the insertion hole to play a guiding role, ensuring that the mounting plate 411 remains stable during the descent, so that the drilling unit 42 connected to the mounting plate 411 can accurately descend vertically to drill the ground.
[0040] When the trenching operation is completed and the drilling unit 42 needs to be lifted, the piston rod of the electric push rod 413 retracts synchronously, pulling the mounting plate 411 upward to the appropriate position.
[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the soil drilling unit 42 includes a drive motor 421 and a reducer 422 mounted on a mounting plate 411. A rotating shaft 423 is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 411, and a drill bit 424 is mounted at the bottom end of the rotating shaft 423.
[0042] The output shaft of the drive motor 421 is connected to the input shaft of the reducer 422, and the output shaft of the reducer 422 is connected to the other end of the rotating shaft 423.
[0043] Once the device reaches the designated digging location and descends to a suitable height, the drilling unit 42 begins operation, the drive motor 421 starts, and the power output by the drive motor 421 is transmitted to the reducer. The reducer 422 reduces the high input speed while increasing the output torque. After the speed reduction, the output shaft of the reducer 422 rotates at a lower speed but with greater torque, driving the rotating shaft 423 to rotate synchronously.
[0044] The drill bit 424 rotates at high speed as the shaft 423 rotates. During the rotation, the drill bit comes into contact with the ground soil and breaks it up. As the lifting component 41 continues to drive the mounting plate 411 to descend, the drill bit 424 rotates continuously, excavating a preliminary channel of a certain depth and width.
[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the second lifting component 51 includes a lifting plate 511 arranged at the bottom of the mounting frame 3, an electric push rod 512 arranged on the mounting frame 3, the piston rod of the electric push rod 512 being connected to the lifting plate 511; a guide rod 513 is provided on the lifting plate 511, the top end of the guide rod 513 passing through an insertion hole and extending upward.
[0046] When it is necessary to reshape the excavated channel, the second lifting component 51 starts working, the second electric push rod 512 starts, and its piston rod begins to extend and retract. When the piston rod extends, it pushes the lifting plate 511 downward; when the piston rod retracts, it pulls the lifting plate 511 upward.
[0047] During the lifting process of the lifting plate 511, the top of the guide rod 513 passes through the insertion hole on the mounting bracket 3 and extends upward. The guide rod 513 slides in the insertion hole to provide guidance for the lifting of the lifting plate 511, ensuring that the lifting plate 511 remains stable during the lifting process and does not deviate or shake.
[0048] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the shaping plate 52 includes two connecting rods 521 disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the lifting plate 511. The bottom ends of the two connecting rods 521 are connected to a soil-drawing plate 522. The soil-drawing plate 522 is U-shaped and the end away from the drilling unit 42 is inclined upward. A scraper blade 523 is provided at the end of the soil-drawing plate 522 near the drilling unit 42. Two pressing plates 524 are disposed opposite each other at the top of the soil-drawing plate 522. The two pressing plates 524 are horizontally disposed.
[0049] After the lifting component 51 moves the shaping plate 52 to a suitable working position, the soil-drawing plate 522 enters the excavated channel as the trolley 1 moves forward. Because the soil-drawing plate 522 is U-shaped and the end away from the drilling unit 42 is inclined upward, the soil-drawing plate 522 can effectively guide the drilled soil to both sides. Under the pushing force of the trolley 1, the soil will gradually move along the two sides of the soil-drawing plate 522 to both sides of the channel, preventing the soil from accumulating in the middle of the channel.
[0050] Meanwhile, as the cart 1 moves, the scraper blade 523 will come into contact with the soil at the bottom of the channel, scraping away excess soil and making the bottom of the channel flatter. It can also push some soil that has not been guided to the sides by the soil-carrying plate to the sides, ensuring that the depth of the bottom of the channel is uniform.
[0051] At the same time, the compaction plate 524 will flatten the soil that has been guided to both sides of the channel. The compaction plate 524 will compact the soil, making the slope of both sides of the channel more stable, preventing the soil from loosening and sliding, and ensuring the stability of the channel's shape and structure.
[0052] Through the coordinated action of the soil-drawing plate 522, the soil scraper 523, and the compaction plate 524, the excavated channel can achieve the ideal shape. The soil-drawing plate 522 guides the soil to both sides, the soil scraper 523 ensures that the bottom of the channel is flat, and the compaction plate 524 compacts the sides of the channel. Together, the three ensure that the depth, width, and slope of the channel meet the requirements, thereby improving the drainage effect and service life of the channel.
[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a spraying mechanism 6 is also included, which includes a water tank 61 mounted on a trolley 1, a pump body 62 mounted on the trolley 1, a supply pipe 63 communicating with the outlet of the pump body 62, and a metal hose 64 connected to the other end of the supply pipe 63. The other end of the metal hose 64 is provided with a nozzle 65 facing the drill bit 424; the inlet of the pump body 62 is communicating with the water tank 61.
[0054] When the dredging device is digging a ditch, the spraying mechanism 6 can be started synchronously or at the appropriate time. The pump body 62 starts to work and draws water from the water tank 61 through the water inlet. Under the action of the pump body 62, pressure is generated, and the supply pipe 63 delivers water to the metal hose 64. The metal hose 64 has good flexibility and bendability, and can adjust the position and angle of the nozzle 65 according to actual needs. Water flows from the metal hose 64 into the nozzle 65, and the nozzle 65 is directed towards the drill bit 424, spraying water in the form of mist or water jet onto the drill bit 424 and the soil area being excavated.
[0055] During the dredging process, the high-speed rotation of the drill bit 424 and its friction with the soil will generate a lot of heat. Prolonged operation may cause the drill bit to overheat, affecting its service life and drilling efficiency. The water sprayed by the spraying mechanism 6 can cool the drill bit in time, reduce its temperature, ensure that the drill bit operates at a suitable temperature, extend its service life, reduce the frequency of drill bit replacement, and reduce operating costs.
[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the trolley 1 is equipped with a storage battery 7.
[0057] The storage battery 7 serves as the power source for the trolley 1, supplying power to all electrical equipment on the trolley and ensuring that these devices can operate normally without an external power source. This improves the flexibility and applicability of the ditch-digging device, allowing it to move freely within the Chinese herbal medicine planting greenhouse and carry out ditch-digging operations.
[0058] like Figure 5 As shown, the driving component 2 includes a housing at the bottom of the trolley 1, a rotating shaft rotatably mounted inside the housing, with both ends of the rotating shaft extending outwards and movable wheels at both ends of the rotating shaft, a drive motor and a reducer mounted inside the housing, the output shaft of the drive motor being connected to the input shaft of the reducer, and pulleys mounted on both the output shaft of the reducer and the rotating shaft, with belt drive between the two pulleys, and two steering wheels mounted opposite each other at the other end of the bottom of the trolley 1.
[0059] When the trolley 1 needs to be moved, the drive motor starts, transmitting power to the reducer. The reducer lowers the high input speed while increasing the output torque to meet the movement requirements of the trolley. The power output from the reducer is transmitted to the rotating shaft via a belt, causing the shaft to rotate. The rotation of the shaft drives the moving wheels, thus moving the trolley 1 forward or backward. Two steering wheels located opposite each other at the other end of the bottom of the trolley 1 are used to control the steering of the trolley.
[0060] Battery 7 provides power to the drive motor, enabling it to operate normally. The drive motor rotates the moving wheels through a reducer and belt drive system, thus moving the trolley.
